Abstract

Delayed emergence from anaesthesia is attributed to residual effects of anaesthetic or analgesic medications. Menstrual catatonia is an extremely rare cause for delayed emergence from anaesthesia which may pose diagnostic dilemmas. The diagnosis is by history and clinical examination. Neuro‒imaging may be required to rule out organic causes if the patient stays in catatonic state for a prolonged period. A 24year-old female underwent microdochotomy of left breast under general anaesthesia. Her trachea was extubated in the operating room with satisfactory respiratory parameters even though she remained sedated and not obeying commands. She remained in catatonic state in the postoperative care unit leading to diagnostic dilemmas. Ninety minutes later, she regained consciousness abruptly and started obeying commands. Her past history revealed two similar episodes associated with menstrual period.
月经紧张症引起麻醉延迟出现的病例报告:诊断困境
延迟从麻醉中苏醒是由于麻醉或镇痛药物的残留作用。月经紧张症是一种极为罕见的原因延迟出现从麻醉可能造成诊断困境。诊断依据病史和临床检查。如果患者长时间处于紧张状态,可能需要神经成像来排除器质性原因。24岁女性在全身麻醉下行左乳显微切开术。她的气管在手术室拔管,呼吸参数满意,即使她仍然镇静,不服从命令。她在术后护理病房一直处于紧张状态,导致诊断困境。90分钟后,她突然恢复了意识,开始服从命令。既往病史显示两次与月经有关的类似症状。
